Waterstones Censorship; Christlams stumping their feet.
A poet has been forced to launch his new collection in the street after a bookstore cancelled the event because of a campaign by Christian activists.
Patrick Jones was due to sign copies at Waterstone’s in Cardiff but the shop cancelled the event at the last moment.
Christian Voice said the book was “obscene and blasphemous” and called on the chain to remove copies from stores.
The company said it was not a censor but felt it was “prudent” to cancel the event because of its duty to customers.
Darkness is Where the Stars Are is a collection of 30 to 40 poems from the Welsh publishers, Cinnamon Press.
Mr Jones, the brother of Nicky Wire of the Manic Street Preachers, had been expecting to launch the book at the Cardiff Hayes branch of Waterstone’s on Wednesday night.
But a few hours before, the poet from Blackwood in Caerphilly county, was contacted by the company to tell him the event had been cancelled “to avoid potential disruption to our store”.
Mr Jones said he was not going to be “beaten down” by religious activists, and signed copies for a small group of people in the street.
“I’m really proud of this book and I’m really sickened.
“There shouldn’t be censorship of this sort – it doesn’t set out to be offensive.”

There is a magical touch to poetry that speaks or reads a different message to each new ears or eyes.
Sometimes a poem will remind the mind of a cherished moment or of a person who is held close to the heart.
A poem might even hold the words that one had searched for their entire life, only to find it in the pages of a book of poetry.
poetry can inspire, lend wisdom, and give strength to the subconscious.
For me, poetry is little snippets of the poet�s imagination. The 30 poems within this book are the little snippets of imagination that I have transferred from mind to paper…
I hope that in my poetry I have achieved at least one of the above magical touches for my readers.
There are thirty poems for you to enjoy, and beside each one there is a space for your photographs.
Which poem will speak to you?
